I finally found the source of that weird smell in the old food court
I was exploring the old Willowbrook Mall in Illinois and kept getting this HORRIBLE smell near the fountain area. Spent like 2 hours looking around thinking it was mold or sewage. Turned out it was a forgotten bag of potatoes from the old Chipotle that had been rotting for like 3 years in a storage closet. Took me way longer to track down than I'd like to admit. Has anyone else found something completely ridiculous in an abandoned mall?

Is a bag of old potatoes really that bad though? Unless you got right up in it and took a big whiff, how much smell could it actually put out from inside a storage closet? I've dealt with some pretty nasty stinks in abandoned buildings before, and it usually takes something a lot bigger or more liquid to really stink up a whole area. Maybe the smell was coming from the fountain or the drains all along and the potatoes were just a bonus. Did you actually open the bag to confirm, or are you just guessing at this point?
